Hey guys! So... when I just logged in... it said that my last login to this forum was on 4/21/2005.... so... over 12 years ago... which kinda speaks for itself. Basically... I am juuuust getting back into it. Sold all my old stuff. I'm 33 years old now and I gotta admit... i'm pretty overwhelmed by the shift in this hobby. I am... lost. Brushless motors? Transmitters with LED screens for under 50 bucks? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!?! haha... ok... so... why am I posting this all randomly on THIS particular thread? Well... I just ordered a TT-02R chassis to start with, which is supposed to arrive on Monday. I used to have a TT-01 so I guess my first question is, how much difference is there in these two chassis? Secondly... I did NOT realize when I bought this recent chassis that it didn't have sway bars available, so I am curious if anybody knows how to rig up a set so I can order those parts soon to have them on hand by the time it's built.

Lastly... and i'm mentioning this in a seperate paragraph because it's the biggest question I have: I have been trying to read, and understand, and watch videos about these new brushless systems... and maybe i'm just mildly retarded... but, I cannot seem to figure out exactly what type of setup i'd need. Allow me to walk you back in time... and explain what I want... and if someone, probably an older guy like me haha, could please direct me towards what i'm in need of, that would be great. I'm looking for the brushless modern equivalent of a Novak Super Rooster (an old bashers ESC from yeeears ago, that had reverse, but could also have the reverse locked out for racing), a brushed 12t motor, and i'm looking for the longest run times possible in regards to my battery, and I don't care how long it takes to charge, or any of that, as long as the charger is good enough to handle the battery without shortening its life. That's literally it. I am looking for a parking lot basher that I can occasionally race type setup, for as cheap as possible. In fact, if anybody has old brushless gear they grew out of... hit me up! Bang for the buck is what i'm all about... which is why on Monday a belt driven track monster is NOT what UPS is bringing me. :-D

I'm sorry this is off topic guys. But... please trust me when I say that I HAVE tried to do my research... but I don't have the money to waste on buying stuff that won't work well in this car... so, I remembered this website... and I came back, after 12 years, to get some actual help! Thank you so much! I've missed this little community!
